Jack Fisher, 11, spent the night floating on the overturned 18-foot boat waiting for help with two adults and a 12-year-old friend from Midland.

The search for them began Monday night after the owner of the boat, who had lent it to the group, notified authorities that they hadn't returned, according to a Coast Guard news release.

He told officials he had expected them to return no
later than sunset and that the group intended to depart Au Gres, Mich. and head toward Saginaw Bay.

An air crew located the overturned boat and three of the boaters, all wearing life jackets, at 7:23 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Coast Guard.

The forth boater, one of the adults, who tried to swim to shore for help, was found and rescued near East Tawas at 8:30 a.m.

No one was injured in the incident.

The Coast Guard attributed the safe rescue to the life jackets and the information provided by the boat owner.

"The
search and rescue efforts of the search party were greatly assisted by
the quick response of the vessel's owner and the filing of a float plan,' said Coast Guard Lt. Justin Westmiller in the news release.

"The
Coast Guard always recommends boaters remain in contact with someone
onshore and also file a float plan. Float plans do not have to be
written or submitted anywhere, but as long as someone knows the general
facts of a boater's planned outing, they can report it to the proper
authorities in case of an emergency
